Both ABRP and Electrafi provide this. I donāt love giving my data to a 3rd party (ABRP is owned by Rivian, but isnāt as useful in this regard), but I have enjoyed having the tools.
Iāve considered the possibility of creating an Electrafi alternative that can be easily self-hosted. Maybe I...
Yes. I have been on Connect+ for as long as itās been a thing. Just luck of the draw, I guess. Or are people starting to drop off of it now? I forget when the initial free membership ends/ed.
Whoās ready to join the Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary?

This is the first time that Iāve ever gotten an update quickly. Even with Connect+, itās usually taken a couple days of seeing other people install it before I can.
Yes, but that cuts both ways. Most people donāt actually need more security, and for those that do, real security is worth the added hassle. If itās not worth the hassle to you, a PIN is probably also just a waste of your time.
This is obviously not a perfect comparison, but I charged yesterday at a Supercharger Iāve used only once before. The charges are a little too far separated in time and weather conditions werenāt the same, but in terms of SoC and kWh added, theyāre actually surprisingly close. Definitely saw a...
Battery capacity is measured in kWh. kWh/minute gives you an easy to understand measure of how quickly youāre using up your charge. Yes, technically kW would give you the same information, but it adds complexity by changing the units involved from what youāre already using when looking at...
Iāll have to look through some old data later, but it definitely seems like Iām getting faster charging speeds now. This will be huge on road trips (and Iām leaving for a 2,000 mile drive next week).
I mean, they explicitly said that charging should be faster on max packs, and that the change was due to improved thermal management. Keeping the battery cooler allows faster charging, thus changing the charge curve.
As far as MFA: security is inherently inconvenient. Thatās kinda the point...
Iām installing a Cascadia 4x4 solar panel on my hood (Gen 1 R1T). The plan is to use it to charge an auxiliary LiFePO4 battery in the frunk, then use that to keep the AGM topped up with a DC to DC charger as well as providing auxiliary power for things like a powered cooler without hitting the...
